In Netflix's new-show, Emraan plays expelled spy recalled to duty
Credits:

Netflix, in association with Red Chillies Entertainment, has announced their new multilingual television series. Emraan Hashmi will star in this yet untitled 8-episodes political espionage thriller. The show is based on Bilal Siddiqi's book 'The Bard of Blood'. Hashmi plays Kabir Anand, an expelled spy, who spent his life as a Shakespeare professor in Panchgani. Later, he was called back for the country's service.

Twitter exchange
King Khan and Hashmi are excited about the show

Red Chillies' owner, Shah Rukh Khan and Hashmi had a jovial conversation on Twitter and both seemed excited about the upcoming series. Hashmi quoted Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' staying in his character of Kabir Anand. He said 'To be or not to be...' before claiming he was ready for the role. The superstar, on his part, congratulated Hashmi and welcomed him on board.

Here's the Twitter conversation between Khan and Hashmi

Backstory
Lately, Hashmi has been absent from silver screen

Of late, Hashmi has been taking it slow for the past few years and had only a couple of releases. His last film was last year's 'Baadshaho'. Despite being absent from the limelight for quite some time, he enjoys a pretty wide fan base. The actor's role in this Netflix series is bound to make his fans excited.

The partnership
Netflix and King Khan: A match made in heaven

Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment made a deal with Netflix, thereby becoming the first Indian production house to tie-up with the streaming giant. The long-term deal would allow Netflix access to dozens of Red Chillies films. 'Dear Zindagi' was the first movie which was streamed on the platform. This web series will be a step in a new direction for both parties.

Netflix originals
Netflix wowed us already, can they do it again?

Notably, Netflix took the Indian market by storm with 'Sacred Games' opening to largely positive reviews. Their other forays in Indian content have also been successful, including 'Love Per Square Foot' and 'Lust Stories'. With Radhika Apte's 'Ghoul' coming up along with other Indian originals like 'Crocodile', 'Again', and 'Selection Day', this new announcement shows just how steadily Netflix is targeting the market.
